Accounting radio advertising is a direct expense When you classify an expense as direct or indirect, use this rule of thumb to identify direct expenses: The expense would not have been incurred if the department were not in existence The expense must be directly related to the department Here is an outline of an income statement that emphasizes departmental margin From Sales Through Departmental Margin Revenue from Sales Less Cost of Goods Sold Based on separate departmental accounts or supplementary analysis sheets Gross Profit Less Direct Departmental Expenses Expenses that are directly related to the department Departmental Margin Less Indirect Expenses Income from Operations Add Other Income Less Other Expenses Net Income The Meaning of Departmental Margin Departmental margin is the most realistic portrayal of the profitability of a department If the company closes the department, the company’s income before income taxes will decrease or increase by the amount of the departmental margin For example, assume that Rivera Company’s income from operations for last year was $120,000, which is about the same as it has been for the past four years Rivera’s partial income statement, in which all operating expenses are apportioned to the various departments, shows that Department E has a loss from operations of $9,000 In an abbreviated departmentalmargin format, the results of the fiscal year are shown in the following table: Department E (only) Departments A to D (only) Item Sales Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit Direct Departmental Expenses Departmental Margin Indirect Expenses Income (Loss) from Operations $ 120,000 72,000 $ 48,000 32,000 $ 16,000 25,000 $ (9,000) $ 1,480,000 880,000 $ 600,000 336,000 $ 264,000 135,000 $ 129,000 Total, Departments A to D (with E eliminated) Total, Departments A to E $ 1,600,000 952,000 $ 648,000 368,000 $ 280,000 160,000 $ 120,000 $ 1,480,000 880,000 $ 600,000 336,000 $ 264,000 160,000 $ 104,000 Now suppose Rivera Company eliminates Department E Because Department E’s departmental margin amounts to $16,000, the Income from Operations of the entire firm will decrease by $16,000 ($120,000 $104,000) Another factor Rivera Company has to consider is possible “spillover sales” of Department E; that is, customers of Department E may buy things in other departments Also, any change in income will cause a change in the amount of income taxes paid by Rivera Company However, to simplify our analysis, we have omitted income taxes from our discussion CHE-NOBLES-11-0409-Appendix E Split 1-12.indd 26/11/11 9:58 AM E-7 Appendix E: Departmental Accounting The Usefulness of Departmental Margin Income statements that show departmental margin are extremely useful when it comes to controlling a company’s direct expenses because the company can hold the head of a given department accountable for expenses directly chargeable to that department If a department head reduces direct expenses, this action will have a favorable effect on the departmental margin A company that manufactures a number of different products can also use the concept of departmental margin to determine the profitability of a particular product This is clearly one of the most important uses of departmental margin Management can use an income statement showing departmental margin as a tool for making future plans and for analyzing future operations Sometimes such an income statement may even lead to the elimination of a department Remember Direct expenses are expenses incurred for the sole benefit of a department If the department did not exist, the expense would not have been incurred Glossary Apportionment of expenses Allocating operating expenses among operating departments (p E-2) Departmental margin The contribution that a given department makes to the income of the firm—gross profit of a department minus the department’s direct expenses (p E-4) Direct expenses Expenses that benefit only one department and are controlled by the head of the department (p E-4) Indirect expenses Overhead expenses that benefit several departments or the business as a whole and are not under the control of any one department head (p.
